[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a democrat and a teacher, I am struggling to see how Ben J. helps Montgomery Co. in any way.[/quote]

How does Larry H. help Montgomery Co. in any way?[/quote]

DP.  I look at it like the Hippocratic oath: first do no harm.  [b]I believe Jealous would harm MoCo by funneling more money to other parts of the state[/b] and possibly driving some of our tax base across the river.

Hogan has done a decent job the last few years and I expect he would do the same for the next four.  In this election, that is enough.[/quote]

The state gets to allocate the state's money however the state wants. And there's a very good argument for adequately funding schools statewide. If you think it hurts Montgomery County when schools in Cecil County are adequately funded - well, I disagree.[/quote]

It hurts MoCo if the money that makes Cecil County "adequately" funded comes from funds that currently go to MoCo, leaving MoCo inadequately funded.  There is a perception that MoCo is rich and therefore doesn't need state money.  I don't agree with that which is why I don't support pulling funds from MoCo.[/quote]

+1.  There is huge economic disparity in MoCo and reduced funding would hurt the poor and middle class students the most- the upper and UMC families will be able to make up the deficit if needed.  MoCo already gets back way less than it pays in taxes.[/quote]
